Chapter 420: Hongmen Banquet
"Since you have reminded this king, this king will naturally not tolerate the traitors anymore, and will investigate this matter thoroughly."
After speaking, he instructed the commander of the nursing home and ordered him to send more men to patrol to prevent the thieves from infiltrating again.
After Jiang Shaolan left, Feng Chongwu's face suddenly became gloomy like water.
"Let's find out who the princess has been in contact with lately!"
"Yes." The Dark Guard disappeared into the air, disappearing into the night.
Feng Chongwu sat on the chair, his expression solemn, and his eyes flashed with a dangerous luster.
It looks like someone is already eyeing him.
"Someone." He commanded in a low voice, "Send someone to find out at once how the assassins from the palace came tonight."
"Yes." The guard said yes and quickly left.
Feng Chongwu stood up and paced in place with his hands in his hands, his eyes contemplative.
Who is in such a hurry to get rid of him?
If he dies, whose interests are better?
The next day, the sun shines through the curtains on the ground, leaving mottled shadows.
There was a knock at the door: "Miss, are you up?"
Hearing that the owner of the voice was Mei'er, Sheng Zhiyao yawned lazily and stretched a long lazy waist, and then slowly got up.
"Slave maid serve you to wash." Mei'er came over with a copper basin, "Miss wants to eat something today, the slave will let the kitchen man do it."
Sheng Zhiyao shook his head: "I don't want to eat anything."
Mei'er was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
Sheng Zhiyao touched her stomach and said sadly: "I'm too supportive."
Hearing this, Mei'er sneered, "Miss, you have been eating last night, you will definitely hold on!"
Sheng Zhiyao sighed, took Mei'er's hand, and pleaded softly: "I'm really uncomfortable, can you accompany me to the courtyard for a walk?"
Mei'er saw Sheng Zhiyao's painful expression, so she had to agree.
The two of them left the house and walked slowly along the corridor.
Suddenly, a figure broke into her sight, and at her feet, Yuan Che's face came into view.
She was surprised and asked, "Yuan Che? Why are you here?"
Yuan Che's gaze fell on her round cheeks and bright big eyes, and his heart moved slightly, but he quickly restrained his emotions and returned to normal.
"Sister Zhiyao, it was Brother Yuanchen who took me over." He said lightly, "Brother Yuanchen said that I will live in his mansion in the future, and I won't go to the academy, and Brother Hanmo will come to teach me to read, so I'm here to say hello to Sister Zhiyao."
Sheng Zhiyao was stunned, and then nodded.
Yuanchen didn't mention this matter to her, but since he decided it, then she respected him.
"Sister Zhiyao, are you okay?" Yuan Che asked with concern.
Sheng Zhiyao smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Yuan Che nodded: "Then I'll leave first, and Brother Hancheng will come to teach me martial arts later."
"Go ahead."
When Yuan Che walked away, Sheng Zhiyao turned to Mei'er and asked suspiciously, "You already know about this early on?"
Mei'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, the prince told us not to tell you, so as not to worry you."
Sheng Zhiyao's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth were curved.
This guy ......
"Alright, let's continue walking." She beckoned to Mei'er, but her feet sped up a little.
Mei'er hurried to catch up with her and helped her out.
Sheng Zhiyao felt that today's sunshine was particularly warm, and even the whole world became vibrant.
The spring breeze blows on the face, the fragrance of flowers refreshes the nose, and it makes people energetic.
She took a deep breath of fresh air and couldn't help but squint her eyes, as if even the air was dyed with the fragrance of spring, which made people feel refreshed.
Unfortunately, this good time came to an end.
The little guy in front of the mansion came to report: "Miss, King Wu sent someone to deliver a post."
"Huh?" Sheng Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, "King Wu invited me?"
She is not familiar with this eldest prince at all, except for the last birthday banquet, how could she suddenly come to invite.
"Show me." She said.
The servant handed her an invitation.
Sheng Zhiyao unfolded it, only glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning.
King Wu actually wanted to invite her to the palace dinner, the time was tomorrow, and her family was attached.
"I know, I thanked King Wu for me, but I told the person who came that the lord of this county is the youngest in the family, and he has no right to make decisions for his grandfather, father, mother, and brother, so I will go to the dinner tomorrow."
The little guy agreed and retreated.
Sheng Zhiyao pinched the invitation and fell silent.
"Miss King Wu suddenly invited, the matter is suspicious, or let's discuss it with the prince." Meier suggested.
After all, she has been with Sheng Zhiyao for all these years, and she is very clear about Sheng Zhiyao's character.
"No need, the Martial King's invitation, we can't refuse, it's better to be straightforward." Sheng Zhiyao said calmly, "Besides, I'll be more careful tomorrow, you can help me prepare clothes and jewelry."
"Who said you can't avoid it!" Feng Yuanchen walked behind them at some point, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he raised his eyebrows, "You can't go."
When Mei'er saw him, she hurriedly curtsied: "I've seen the prince."
Feng Yuanchen waved his hand and motioned for her to be exempt.
He raised his eyes to look at Sheng Zhiyao, and said with reproach: "King Wu's invitation to you to a dinner party is by no means a simple party, what if something goes wrong with you?"
Sheng Zhiyao looked at his serious appearance and couldn't help laughing: "I just want to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd!"
Feng Yuanchen frowned: "At this time, any wind and grass can become a deadly threat, you must be cautious, even if it is risky, it is not allowed."
Sheng Zhiyao was trained to be speechless.
"Lord Wang, in fact, Miss is not a reckless person, you don't have to worry too much." Mei'er opened her mouth to clear the siege.
Feng Yuanchen glanced at her and said lightly, "I know that she is not a reckless person, so I know these things better than you, and I advised her not to go to the banquet because I didn't want any accidents to happen."
Meier sneered and shut up.
"Knowing that it is a Hongmen banquet, I also want to go to the meeting." Sheng Zhiyao smiled suddenly, his eyes flowing, "Anyway, you can't dodge horizontally and vertically, it's better to greet each other calmly."
Feng Yuanchen's face turned slightly pale, and his thin lips opened slightly: "Since you insist, then I will accompany you, but ......."
"I know." Sheng Zhiyao smiled lightly, "But don't be angry, right?"
Feng Yuanchen pursed his lips and lowered his head for a moment: "I will accompany you, but it doesn't mean that I agree to your banquet." I have a hunch that this dinner is not as peaceful as you think."
Sheng Zhiyao bowed slightly: "I know."
"And my imperial uncle is not such a docile person as he seems, his methods are more despicable and despicable, only you can't think of it, there is nothing disgusting that he can't do."
Sheng Zhiyao chuckled, "You don't trust my ability so much?"
"You have the ability, but I'm afraid that you will be fooled, you are still too kind."
